XXIV. Panzer-Korps is committed, with 4. Panzer-Division making two strikes strikes. Opposing infantry is too weak. Four tanks of 9. Panzer-Division got lost. We are exhausted at the end of turn 64, but losses remain low.

At this point, the results of an internal review of all panzer division by OKH are reported informally to XXIV. Panzer-Korps. The officer in charge recommends to solve the "problem with 4. Panzer-Division" as soon as possible. Such an over-sized division would be by no means acceptable, considering the shape of most other tank divisions, in particular those of Heeresgruppe Mitte.

XXIV. Panzer-Korps decides to "spend" those excess tanks by more ambitous committments. The reason is that it is not willing to give them away to its higher echolon. Distributing them to a sister division is also not possible. (Lesson learned: WITE game mechanics restricts reorganizations of panzer formations to SU.)
